Trump straight-up bribes voters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The boys talk about how the Trumpapalooza convention in Dallas reeks of desperation, Trump’s bribe to voters, how the Republican party has no principles, and how Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders refuses to spend any political capital on helping sick kids.
We’re Instagram Famous Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week the boys talk about all the would-be scandals of the past week, their brush with internet fame over a viral Insta post, and how Dolly Parton will be remembered.
Some hopefulness, for a change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The boys are back to talk about all the crazy sh*t that’s happened over the last week, plus they review some of their viewer feedback (surprise, it’s mostly homophobic insults), and talk about some hopeful things you can hang your hat on, at least for now. They also talk about music and food recommendations, including Sierra Ferrell and Lee Bains III.
Enjoy the Diarrhea and measles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The boys talk about the latest string of would-be scandals coming out of 47 and Co., how the incompetence of the current administration is actually killing people, and try to sort out what’s worth talking about in the aftermath of the Michigan primaries.
DISTRACTIONS, DISTRACTIONS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The boys run down all the should-be scandals that have happened since the last episode, what happens when the AI bubble pops (and it will pop), and how Republicans have decided COVID actually was bad and are now trying to pin the deaths on Anthony Fauci. It’s all very exhausting.
